Because of Shug

Because of SHUG I have a Warbonnet blackbird because his video was so influential , a winter yeti to keep me warm, a superfly to keep me dry. I bought an alcohol stove. And just purchased a packa. And finally I have an ULA Circuit on the way. And for some reason I want to become a gorge rat. And i keep saying whooo buddy for some reason. I am just hoping he does not suggest hard drugs in his next video.

All kidding aside, thanks to shug and his videos I am now more comfortable in the piney woods. Your work is much appreciated shug.

Shug is a very bad influence.

We have 4 Hennessey hammocks in our house, and for some strange reason after watching Shug's videos I find myself spending more time than I should looking at the War Bonnet site. ;-)

I'm a Shug fan!

I didn't know about HF or Shug until after I bought my first hammock, a HH expedition. I was such a noob that I asked HH in an email when I bought it how get into a sleeping bag through that bottom entry. It was only after several cold winter nights struggling to get everything working together that I ran across Shug's vids and that led me here.

So, I too credit Shug for getting me started in the right direction. I credit everyone on this site for contributing to my gear collecting jones. BTW, please don't sell me anything..... LOL

I blame...errrr... thank him for tempting me into falling off the stove-addiction-anonymous wagon (love his timed alcohol stove cook-offs/rematches), my WBBB (Shug, you had me at gear shelf)... and for starting me on a quest that took me to lots of gear sites in search of that awesome down hat!

Thanks, Shug.

Pretty soon you'll admit to eating Livermush, and be making videos spoofing Dutch, the greatest hiker in the world, who's easy on the eyes...

Well that's not fair. Freshly prepared pork brains with gravy are wonderful. Just steer clear of that canned stuff.

And I think Shug has single handedly increase the number of hangers out there.

Thanks Shug.
